How the hegemon China harrasses Taiwan with fishing boats

When will China become like Taiwan and dump the Communist Party! How many decades (or even centuries) will it take?

Maybe one day, the Taiwanese people will decide whether and how Taiwan will be reunified with mainland China.



"Taiwan detained a PRC fishing boat in its restricted waters near the Penghu Islands after the boat tried to evade inspection. The PRC uses ostensibly commercial or privately-owned vessels as a deniable way to harass other countries, strain law enforcement resources, and advance PRC territorial claims. Taiwan’s Coast Guard Administration (CGA) caught the PRC fishing boat in Taiwan’s contiguous zone, which Taiwan calls “restricted waters,” 26 nautical miles northwest of Xiaomen in the Penghu archipelago. The CGA stated that the boat had its name painted over and attempted to flee when ordered to halt.[26] The CGA seized the boat and detained its 15 crew members. The CGA said that the August 16 end of the PRC’s summer fishing moratorium has brought more PRC vessels into the area, forcing the CGA to increase patrols to guard against illegal maritime border crossings. The CGA drives away hundreds of PRC fishing boats from Taiwanese waters each year but rarely detains them."
